silverado link question prob a stupid one

im in the process of bagging my 96 chevy ex cab silverado and ive never bagged a fullsize before can i link it up just like on a mini? is there anything special i need to do? i was thinking about running a set of bars off the leaf spring perches and two angled bars to the new crossmember im building. and what di i do with the gas tank? do i build another gas tank crossmember? pics of someones setup would be great. thanks.

Dig through the owner profiles here or check out www.fullsizechevy.com to find pics. The general idea behind linking any vehicle is the same but every type is going to have different obstacles in your way. With the FSC you may be better off running a parallel link on the outside of the rails with a panhard or watts link. That way you will just need to raise but not relocate your tank. You'd have to get pretty creative in order to do a properly triangulated 4 link with the stock tank in place.  

Best thing to do with a full size is a wishbone 3 link, that way you can keep the stock gas tank location.

 

marcos did you have to build a new gastank crossmember to connect the 3 link to

I just got the Ekstensive 2 link kit for my 02 full size, they have a kit  for your truck.  The kit comes with 2 link bars, a pan hard bar with mounts, new shock mounts and notch with a bridge. The kit looks real easy to install I was short on time to do my truck  and had the same problem what to do with the gas tank. This kit takes care of all that, you can go to sport trucks web page and they did a tech article on an 08 full size with the same kit if you want to see what it looks like. I bought the front and rear kit and it was $690+ shipping for everything.  The kit is supost to let you lay on 22's with a drop spindal and 24's with a spindal and upper and lower control arm. I cant tell you how long or how hard it is to do because I just got my kit 2 days ago everything looks easy. Hope this helped.

You don't have to, I would just add some bracing.

And sorry, thats not my truck, thats Damien's.  Azdragginsoon is his name on here.

Nice to see you still around old man, you can do it !

Yeah getting back into it now that business is picking up.
